Kingdom of Aquitaine

The Kingdom of Aquitaine was a successor state of the Frankish Empire that existed from 814 to 877. Aquitaine was granted to Pepin I of Aquitaine on Louis the Pious's accession to the throne of the Frankish Empire in 814, and Charles the Bald was given the throne after Pepin's death in 838, despite the nobility conferring the throne upon Pepin's son, Pepin II of Aquitaine. In 848, Charles was officially named King of Aquitaine. In 852, Charles had Pepin imprisoned and made his own son Charles the new King of Aquitaine, to be succeeded by Charles the Bald's other son, Louis the Stammerer, on the younger Charles' death in 866. Aquitaine would be absorbed into West Francia when Louis the Stammerer inherited the West Francian throne in 877.
